Snookered¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: B Ellison| OR: 72| C

7/2

Course winner. 33/1, very good second of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, heavy) 19 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Should remain competitive.

Form: 51658-2

Flash Point^p²⁵⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: T Eaves| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 67| D

Forecasts

Crossing The Bar (3/1), Francisco Bay (10/3), Snookered (7/2), Magna Moralia (9/2), Goobinator (15/2), The Navigator (12/1), Flash Point (16/1), Battle Of Wills (50/1)

CROSSING THE BAR has progressed with each run, is bred to be better than a mark of 77, and should be well suited by this step up in trip, so he boasts leading claims on handicap debut. In-form pair Magna Moralia and Snookered could pose the most significant threats.
